My invention relates to a decorated-visor, and has for itsprincipalobject the provision of a relatively simple, practical andinex-x 1 pensive visorihaving decorated surfaces in 6 order to presentan attractive and pleasing appearance, and the visor contemplated bymyinvention is'especially designed to be worn by bathers,=motor1sts, orpersons engaged. in 1 and which latterare 'visible-thru'openings thatare formed inj-the body oreyeshadepor tion of the visor. A furtherobject oflmy invention is to provide a visor 'oftheicharacter' referredtophaving an ornamented or decorated band or strap that passes aroundthe" head of the; wearer toretain the visor in position and further, toarrangewvithinthe of flexible material, preferably fabric, that overliesthe upper front portion of the head of the wearer, thus preventingthe-eyeshade portion of the visor. fromyworking downwardly onto the.forehead whilein use,v I

" With "the foregoing and other objects in View," my invention consistsin certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts thatwillhereinafter bem'ore fully de-' 'scribedand claimed and" illustratedin the accompanying drawing, in which. v f Fig; 1 is a perspective viewof a decorated visor constructed. in. accordance with my in vention. v Y

6 is a vertical section taken on the line155 6 f6 ofFig.5. j i TReferring by numerals to the accompany-i ing drawings.whichillustratezapractical embodiment of my inventiOnflO designates the body or eyeshadeportionxof the visor, thesame being preferably formed of celluloid,cardboard or the like, said body being substantially crescent shaped andhaving its upper surface decorated in any desired manner; for instance,by the representation of jewels and precious stones or'raisedflowersorigeo- I metrical figures in colors. These decorations.

may be applied inany suitable manner, either by being printed or paintedon'the body of the-visor, orbyembossing methods.

a Formed in the body of the'visoris a series of apertures 11,-preferably round, although other shapes of openings may be utilized if adesired. :Formed' integral with the inner edge of the body 10 andprojecting upwardly-tat an angle relative thereto, is the front portionofaband or strap 12 of such lengthfas to passaroundthe head ofthewearer, and one end of this-strap carries a buckle or keeper 13 thatis adapted to receive and hold the other end of the strap when the sameis posi tioned on the head ofthe wearer- .1

The outer face of this strap or band'is decorated'togconforin to thedecorationson'j the 'body'of thevisor, and at the frontQo-f the banddecorated portions thereof are extended upwardly as designated by 14fSecured to the lower or outer edge of the body 10, prefer 9 member16,the inner" portion f of whichj is extendednpward a short distance toform a retaining lip 17 whichilatternextendls"{prac- I Removably nged.01 rtlie undersideof.

fth'e" body 10 is a; crescent shapefd memberj 18 I that may "be formedofcelluloid, cardboard or I v analogous material", 'andpthe1ower,.;'.ourvedv .i,00

. edge of this inserted member is positioned beneath the retaining lip17, and the upper edge of said inserted member is detachably connectedto the upper portion of the body 10 in any suitable manner, preferablyby means of snap fasteners 19.

The upper-face of insertedmember118101 that face that contacts withtheunderface of the body 10, is provided at predetermined points withdecorative members 20, preferably imitation jewels 'orprecious stones,and these decorative members occupy the apertures 11 that are formedthru the body 10,

' and by this arrangement, the-apertures li -appear as settings for thedecorations that are carried by the inserted memberxandwhichoc cnpy saidopenings.

In order. to enable the wearer 'ofrthe visor to direct his gazeforwardly withoutraising the head, small windows or openings *21areformed through the insertedfimernber l SV-at points approximately inline withzthe eyes ofthe wearer, and these small openingscoincide with apair of-the larger openings ,11' in the body 10 of the visor.

Thus, the wearer of the visor may direct; his gaze forwardly thru theopenings 21 without raising the head'to a pointlwhere the l1ne of visionpasses beneaththelower edge ofwthe body-10. V

In order to preventz the body-ofthe visor from working downwardly on theforehead of the wearer, a crescent shapedJmember '22,

preferably ofthin fabric, such as silk, is in serted in the frontportion of -the-:st1iapj or band 12, .as illustratedinF 5 and, 6,'andwhen the visoris positioned on the head, this section of fabric overliesthe upper front:

portion of the head and thus assists the: band or strap 1nretaningthevisor in proper and convenient position for 1 use;

In some instances, it may be found desirable to arrange on the upper and-1ower-edges of the band 'or strap 12, retainingi lips orfianges suchas'123, beneath-which latterisfarran ged an inserted band-orstrap24,.whichd'atter carries decorated members 25 such as imita+ tionjewels, and the latter being exposed to view thru openings 26 that areformedin-the body ofthie band'or strap that projectsup wardly fromthetop of the body of the visor (see -Fig. I vVv'here this constructionis employed, the onter face"oftheband or strapthat. isformed-integralwith,the body of the .visor..may be decorated withimitation jew els ,or therepresentationsof flowers; or the kev t V hus,itiwill be" seen that Ihave prov-idejd v.a decorated fv-isor thatfisrelatively simple in construction, inexpensive ofwmanufactnre and whlchpresents an'ornamen-ta'l -a-ndj1attractlveappearance.

Byiprovid inserts 1 8 and varyin-gthe :form "or ,colorsof thedecorations 1 carried thereby, it: is :,possi;-

ing two or more ot the decorated 7 ble to change the entire appearanceof the visor, and this enables a person to utilize in connection withclothing of a certain color, a visor, the decorations of-which are of acorresponding color. For instance, a golf player wearing a blue costumemay apply to the visor an insert earrying blue decoration-s, or if abathing suit of re'dis worn, thenthe visor may carry an insert havingred decorations.

It will be understood that minor changes in the sizeyform andconstruction of the va- ,rious parts of my improved decorated visor 'maybe made and substituted for those herein shown and described and withoutdeparting from the spirit of 'myinvention, the scope of which isset;forth in the'vappended;claiins.

I claim asmy invention:

' Ina decorated risor,"-,an eyeshade SD61- tion provided withzopenings,an inturned;re-

taming lip on the'lowor edge-of'saideyewith and projecting downwardlyover the intermediate portion of said band, said eyeshade member beingprovided WllJlIi-iLSEllGS of. apertures, aninturnedhp .onthe lower edgeof said eye-shade-member, ,a member detachably positioned against theunderside of the eye-shade member with itslower edge positioned beneathsaid retai-nin-glip, means for connecting the upper edge of saidmemherto the eye-shade member, -P0l'trlOIlS of which detachable member arevisible through the openings in the eye-shade member when saiddetachable member is 1 applied thereto. In testimony whereof Iqa-flix mysignature.
